He chose the metal robin over a real branch. Sat there for a while, singing his heart out like he owned the place — didn’t seem bothered that he had an audience either. It’s moments like this that make you stop and just listen. #robinredbreast #birdphotographyuk #gardenbirds #ukwildlife

A few pics from a colourful walk down the lines at Coxhoe, a once industrial railway track from Steetly Quarry, now part of the limestone links walk, I do enjoy walking my dog down here. #nature #greaterstitchwort #bluebells #redcampion #appleblossom #buttercup #wildflowers

I recently saw a picture on Instagram of a grape hyacinth- muscari flower, it was on its own and looked lovely. I had to try to do something similar. My start image is last, this is how I processed it and what I ended up with, Ai for the clouds! #muscari #grapehyacinth #flowers #macro #photography

A lovely robin I met on my early morning walk with my dog Rosie. This was next to the fish ponds just outside the village. I'm pleased I almost always have a small bag of sunflower hearts with me, it was freezing cold and this little'un enjoyed its breakfast. #nature #lovenature #robin #birds

Fly Agaric fungi, Littlewood nature reserve near Cassop, Co Durham. #fungi #fungus #flyagaric #closeup #photography

I love a good fungus find, and I found this in my local woods. Mycena galericulata is a mushroom species commonly known as the common bonnet or the rosy-gill fairy helmet. This is the same clump from two sides. #fungi #fungus #nature #lovenature #potd

I love a bit murky misty weather in my pictures, here's 4 of my favourites. . #weatherpics #misty #fog #scenicviews #landscape #landscapephotography #photography #potd #photooftheday #coxhoe #codurham #lovedurham #northeastengland

I dropped my granddaughter to the train station at Durham this morning, thought I'd grab a few pics on the way home, so off I headed off to observatory hill, Durham.

Another day, another east park sunrise 🌅 I do like the sunrise's from here, if I was nearer the coast they'd be the northsea and lighthouses, but I'm not, so it's here for trees, the church and a sun star 🌳⛪️🌤⭐️ . #sunrise #eastpark #sedgefield #codurham #northeastengland #ukpotd #potd
